A. Unusual or Suspicious Activity, can mean a lot of different things. The most common reason it happens is, if you are receiving ---or ---(*more likely*) sending out huge amounts of large--video--pictures--z ip files,etc., that exceed the normal usage of your account ( or bandwidth)---thereby appearing "unusual". It could also indicate that someone has been trying to guess your password. After numerous incorrect attempts, Yahoo gets an alert and suspends the account to put a stop to the suspected hacking attempt. There are others, I'm sure. However, it would be nice if Yahoo would identify the "activity", that causes the suspension.

If you can put security cameras outside the building so you can see what is going on out there. Or use a security service. take care and be safe!

A. bank account terms and conditions which are signed when you open the account and often have updates sent out with your statement gives them the authority to do this. The extent of the authority, the criteria for suspision/fraud and the actions taken on identification varies from bank to bank, for example when my debit card was stolen someone took it to 3 travel agents on the same day to buy foriegn currency. This was picked up by computer as being suspicious as normally you'd only buy from 1 travel agent (or in my case none as i tend to use a cash machine in the foriegn airport) so this was flagged to their fraud unit who rang me.

A. They could be criminals, scoping out a house for a home-invasion robbery. Or they can be private detectives, gathering evidence. There is no way for you to be able to tell. If you notice suspicious activity, report it to your local police. They'll send a police unit to investigate. Don't get involved yourself. In fact, as a government employee, I was trained on how to observe suspicious activity, and to report it to the police at once. For example, if I were to see someone taking pictures of a secured location, I have to assume they are scoping it out.
